Portraits from life, of the living and the dead

Buck

Nineteen, twenty –
through the velvet
buds the sharp horn
starts to be shown.

What was childish,
soft, has edges,
is ridged and stripped
and, locked, rattles

against others’
on frost-swept leas.
Wearing the weight
of its garland

the head swings up
and brings to bear
its wealth of tines,
the glance aware.
